Zao Jun New Asian & Sushi

Modern Asian Restaurant that delivers true flavors! The ambiance of the restaurant is suitable for families and dates. Having the option for a patio was a major plus! The host and staff was attentive and made sure areas were cleaned. The food was spot on and the pricing was very reasonable! I can see why it pulls in so much business. I would certainly make a reservation!

I absolutely love it here. The ambience of the restaurant is so nice and has a modern look. The service was nice and also super quick. I went with another person so we tried a small selection of things. For appetizers we got the happy hour rock shrimp and chicken potstickers. The potstickers were good but could’ve been a bit better but the rock shrimp on the other hand was absolutely amazing and was full of different flavors. For entrees we got the drunken noodles and the almond chicken substituted with pad Thai noodles. The drunken noodles were flavorful and a little spicy which was perfect and came with a good portion. The almond chicken was also pretty tasty. I would definitely go back and try some of their other many options!

Dined in early on a Tuesday evening. Not crowded and had plenty of staff for the crowd. Sushi came out quickly, but my shrimp shumai dim sum took over 40 minutes later. I even had to ask about it. Could the kitchen be a problem?? It was some of the best, but the wait wasn't. Ordered the carrot cake to go. For a torte like cake version of carrot cake, it is one of the best I have had. Service was just ok. The food earned the stars.

Reservations were easy to grab! The indoor decor was really tasteful and modern. The hosts were really friendly from the start. Our waitress was attentive to us. We love trying out different parts of the menu and she provided some really great recommendations for the sake. The cocktails were great. The ribs literally fell off the bone, definitely recommend those!! The rockshrimp was one of the best I've had. The sushi are really large portions so you don't have to order too many, and theyre great too fresh and delicious. The bao was good but probably my least fav dish. The mango salad was refreshing as well. Overall a great dining experience--great food, good service and comfortable ambience.

Their food is delicious, much better than your typical Chinese or Asian restaurant that load your food with grease and msg. Flavor is well balanced and a lot of their small items are hand made and not brought from a supplier. The problem is their kitchen is very slow. Either they have too many take out orders to fill or they don't have enough people in the kitchen. Stir fry Chinese dishes shouldn't take 45mins to make

I've been here about 6 times now, always great food, always great service! This visit I came with my UBER PICKY parents, sister and niece. My parents eat REAL Asian food, like Chinese, Vietnamese restaurants in Windsor, ON or Ann Arbor, but they really enjoyed the dishes here. Dad ate everything he ordered, no take home boxes! Mom ate most of hers and she liked everything including our sushi. We had chocolate cake and cheesecake for dessert. So good, there were no pics! Lol

Great food, good ambience! One of the best Bao Buns I have tried! Their house soy sauce was epic too! Went here for Date night on a Saturday with the wife! We wanted to try out a bunch of stuff, so decided to skip on alcohol this time- they did have some good options (slightly expensive I felt). Overall a great experience with your the food, friendly staff, ambience, music. The lighting could be slightly dimmer to give more of a fancy feel! We ordered the following: Veggie Spring Rolls -4/5 Eggplant Nigiri - 5/5 Chicken pot stickers- 4/5 Crispy Chicken Bao - 5/5 Spicy Chicken Bao - 5/5 Togarashi Fries - 4/5 Carrot Cake dessert - 3/5 Will be back for those Bao Buns and also to try some entrees next time!

Delicious food, amazing service! Everything was really fresh, and a lot of delicious flavors. Really cute date-night place! Highly recommend ☺️

It was a Sunday night and our group of 18 was on the hunt for Chinese food... It had been a long day and we had planned on ordering in but the day got away from us and it was already after 8pm when we realized we had not planned for our order. I made a few phone calls and connected with Jeffrey at Zao Jun, who said they would accommodate our group on short notice and also ended up being our server. He took incredible care of us but we ordered way too much food! From soup, noodle dishes and stir fries to sea bass, duck, sushi, ribs, and even a hamburger, this restaurant has it all... some of it is done better than others, but there is something for everyone here. We also had some drinks... The restaurant itself is huge! You can't tell from the storefront but when I walked back to the restroom, I was shocked. It is clean and has a modern look and good energy. We closed it down that night and it will be an evening we'll remember for awhile, and one that my dad, RBK, would have enjoyed as well. We know he was looking down on us as we mourned his passing together. Whether you go for lunch, dinner, happy hour, or whatever, just go and enjoy!

It was raining heavily, so I wasn't interested in traveling far for food. Zao Jun was on my path home, and since I already had this place bookmarked, it was a simple decision. The restaurant was nearly empty for lunch; only 2 other tables were occupied when I walked in. I can understand that: the aforementioned weather and the fact that it was game day. The restaurant is enormous, even by suburban standards. There are at least four separate spaces that I could see, counting the outdoor space when the weather is more accommodating. I loved the aesthetics: lime green walls and matching chairs with cream-colored accents, cool wall decor, and massive industrial chandeliers. I went a couple of dim sum dishes because it was the weekend, and weekends are made for dim sum. I selected the pork potsticker, shrimp shumai, short-rib bao bun, and rainbow roll, no salmon. The app servings are large! The pork dumpling was a bit dense, but I appreciated the ginger flavors and delicate dumpling wrapper. The shrimp shumai was stuffed with shrimp, punctuated by tiny mushroom pieces. Yum! I also liked the short-rib baos. Think thinly sliced beef paired with fluffy bao buns (shaped like taco shells) and topped with a spicy sauce. The apps were great, but the rainbow roll was smaller than expected and rather bland-tasting. I was so disappointed. Service was okay.

Ambiance of the place looked nice but could only view it from the outside because staff decided to close an hour early :). They close at 10:00 PM but decided to lock their doors before 9:00 PM. Multiple staff members just waltzed around making eye contact as I knocked in confusion. I called and they ignored the phone right in-front of me So now I say this, if thats how you handle your customer base. I can't trust the way you handle my food. Good luck with business.

Unfortunately the place just did not meet my expectations. I got the general so chicken, terra-cotta vegetables with added beef which is a $3 surge charge, and a chicken shrimp dish with some vegetables. I also got chicken tenders and fries for the kid. Food-to me it was very subpar and not worth it at all. It is American Chinese. The quality is not above Panda express. General so chicken for example is around $22 which is egregious. It was lightly fried and the taste was okay, but definitely not worth the price tag. The terra-cotta vegetables with added beef had okay flavor, However It was DRENCHED in SAUCE and heavy in CORNSTARCH. I could not finish to this because the majority of vegetables was covered in thick sauce. Very unpleasant. Salty too. This is true for the other dish which had chicken, shrimp, and vegetables (forgot the name). I was full from just eating the sauce alone it was so heavy. Service - this was okay as a server came back at appropriate times and asked if we needed anything else. He was pleasant. Nothing special here. However note that each receipt comes with a suggested tip from 20 to 30% tip which is outrageous. Ambiance -had a American Asian fusion design. Big pieces of art work with faces of Asian men and women. Had a rustic feel. Place was clean. Not very many diners. If you are looking for over priced American Asian food that is not unique besides the ambiance/environment, come here.

The dining room was much larger than would be assumed from the outside and the vibes were good. The service wasn't bad although it was a little slower than you'd think considering the number of customers at the time. The food was pretty good! The apps were great, my fav were the chicken lettuce wraps. My cocktail, an Asian 75, wasn't worth it. My almond chicken was crispy and tasty, the fried rice was flavorful and airy. The deserts were very good, with the carrot cake having good flavor. Overall We were pleasantly surprised by Zao Jun! It's worth a visit if you're in the area.

This place is HUGE and so cute, I wasn't sure what to expect when walking in wearing my errand clothing. The service was spectacular, they gave us time to explore the menu and yet they were prompt with our order. While I would've liked to see a larger variety in rolls, the rolls they have are actually some of my favorite styles. My husband had no complaints and this was only his second time having sushi. We will be coming back again.

Went for lunch at noon on a Saturday. There weren't many customers because they had recently opened so it was easy to get seated. It took a little bit for our waiter to notice we were there but once he did his service was really good. He gave some recommendations and we took him up on them. We skipped the cocktails on this visit and enjoyed the food. The Giant Egg Rolls ($11 for 2) were pretty good but they could have used a little more seasoning in the filling, as it was a bit bland. The Crab Rangoons ($14) were really good. And the two sushi rolls that we shared were also good. We had the Firecracker Roll ($15), and the Tail Of Two Salmon Roll ($17). It's really cute inside the restaurant. The lighting is nice. The tables are big and it's really comfortable. I do have to say that because the space is so open that once it starts to get full with people it's very loud. But as long as you don't mind that then I definitely recommend the location. They have some larger tables in the front section of the restaurant so I think it's a good option for larger families and groups.

It's been few years since I dined at this place. Went with friends on Saturday evening, we had a reservation so we were sitted pretty quickly but looking at many empty tables I don't think we needed it. Our server was very nice, but we had to wait more than 30 minutes for our food to arrive. This is definetly a more upscale type of Asian food. The prices are on a higher but the portion sizes are much smaller than your average Asian establishment. I had the cocunt cashew curry (vegan) which was the biggest size of all meals. Mongolian beff and black pepper steak were great in flavor but very small sizes. I wasn't a impressed with the curry as my friends with their dishes, it was very dry for a curry, barely any sauce. I'm glad they offer some vegan options and are able to accommodate if needed, that was very comforting. Thanks to Yelp we had a free dessert which my companions split as it wasn't vegan but they said it was delicious. They had the passion fruit cheesecake. Overall, seems to be a high quality food, pricey for sure and maybe other dishes taste better than the curry.

My favorite go to is Zao, it never disappoints! The food is absolutely delish & the drinks are just as good! I can't forget the service...top notch! Every time I come the staff is very welcoming & accommodating. I would like to shout out their amazing bartender Jeffrey! Looking for good drinks AND comedy? He is your go to!

Fantastic Happy Hour, which includes delicious food. Great bar service and bartender Jeff.

We had an amazing meal, drinks and experience at Zao Jun. We were planning on heading through the area and checked out their menu online and it looked amazing. Our server was actually the bartender Jeff who was pulling double duty and did it flawlessly and with laughter. We had amazing drinks....the crab rangoons and sauce were the best we ever tasted and so was the miso soup (got more to take home). And the veggie lo mein and short ribs bao buns were outstanding and perfectly portioned for my daughter and I to try (and still have lo mein to take home). Her and I already plan to go back and sit at the bar next time because Jeff seriously won us over with his personality as well as the food and atmosphere!!

I went here for dinner with a friend group of 8 people and really enjoyed it. It's a larger space, so definitely a good option if you have a slightly larger party, like we did. I got the firecracker roll as an appetizer to share and the braised short rib as my main entree. Both were amazing, with the braised short rib being the definite standout. I would absolutely return again to try more options, or just to try the short rib again!

Food is good, but the portions are getting smaller each time we visit. Just picked up one of their Poké bowls and for $17 it was pretty small.

Overpriced and uniformed servers deliver quality sushi and drinks. Not authentic but still good enough that I'll be back

I'd honestly have to come back and give this place another stab because maybe I just ordered poorly. The service was fantastic and they have the cutest menu for kids. I ordered orange chicken, chicken bao buns and green beans. The green beans were great. However orange chicken was unflavorful and not crunchy. The bao buns were breaking so they didn't have the right consistency and the inside was super dry. Overall, all the food I had was not good but no bad, just bland. I do want to come back and try other items to see if I selected poorly because my husbands meal was delicious.

It was delicious there. The sushi is amazing and the noodles are the best. I would recommend coming there because the service is amazing and the aesthetics and environment are amazing as well.

Great food, great service. Stopped by during happy hour for 1/2 off draft beer before 6pm. Sit in back bar if you want to get quickly seated.

I really love this place! The food is so amazing. I've never had anything I didn't like here. They have this passion fruit cheesecake that will melt your heart! This time, I tried their sesame chicken, and it did not disappoint! I have a truffle allergy, and there is truffle on the menu, but they cooked my food separately. Everything is wheelchair accessible so no worries there. I would definitely mention if you need an accessible seat when you RSVP because it can get a little tight in the dining room. I highly recommend it!

The service can be slow and though typically friendly, sometimes unfamiliar with the menu. The sushi is typically fresh, but doesn't seem to have the flavorful, high end ingredients of its sister restaurant, Adachi.

Would come back only for the sushi. The hamachi yellow tail nigiri & hamachi ponzu roll were a 10/10! They tasted so fresh. The orange chicken wasn't breaded & was not worth. DO NOT get the vegetable fried rice as a side. It tasted like it was frozen & not freshly made. The fire ninja roll was also good. The ambiance here is really nice. It was a Tuesday night & it was busy around 7:30pm. The service is quite slow. We were out 2 hours after. The drinks here are strong. Definitely get the Lychee martini if you want a sweet and strong drink. Our bill for 5 people came out to be around $380. We had a lot of leftovers after. Say it's your birthday & they'll bring you a complimentary dessert of your choice with a candle on top. We chose the passionfruit cheesecake and it was a hefty slice.

I got takeout here on my way home from work the other day. Good food, was ready when I got there to pick up my order. Friendly staff. It's in a big strip mall so don't miss it if you're trying to visit- it's there! It also looks nice inside but I wasn't dining in.

Love this place, Asian is my favorite cuisine and this place satisfies my craving every time, staff is super pleasant and knowledgeable, great atmosphere, amazing food, drinks, desserts

Terrific Asian fusion! Solid sushi and traditional Chinese cuisine. Great service and ambiance. This is a regular visit for me and co-workers when I am in town. Noodles are especially good!

This is a great date nite or friend meet up place. Food is good, portions are large enough to split. Cold sake selection is extensive, couple of warm sakes as well. The wait staff is great. Been here 3 times and had a good experience each time.

I was impressed with the sushi here - always a little cautious in the Midwest with sushi but the tale of two salmons and the salmon dynamite were so refreshing and tasty. The spicy chicken bao buns had the perfect kick and crunch and the beef gyoza was also really tasty. Def want to come back here to try more on their menu it was hard to pick what I wanted!

Amazing service amazing food and amazing overall. Brittany is one of the best waitresses I've been served by. The art is very nice and seats are comfortable.

The fried rice is awful!. Not fresh .... Will not order it again at $16!....... Pad thai was good though.

Most of the food items we ordered were good, however, I do not believe I will be returning here as a diner. The service was very slow, it took 20 minutes of sitting before a server came to take out cocktail orders. For appetizers, we ordered the crispy rock shrimp and bao buns. I enjoyed the chili garlic aioli that came on the shrimp, however, I wish it had a bit more kick to it and the shrimp itself was kind of mushy. The meat in the bao buns was so dry and unappetizing that we did not even finish them. For dinner, we tried the orange chicken and general tso chicken. I enjoyed the orange chicken and the general tso chicken was good but I prefer mine to have a bit more of a kick to it. I believe this spot is a bit overpriced for what you get and there are better Asian restaurants in the surrounding areas in my option. Maybe we came on an "off day" but I would not recommend this restaurant, considering the experience we had. * Rock Shrimp: $15 * Orange Chicken: $19 * General Zao: $19

The kani crab and apple salad is the best!!! The perfect lunch option -- and it's just so so so yummy and fresh. I've had a few other items here that were very good. But today is all about the salad.

Excellent food and fun vibe! The truffle edamame is my new addiction. Also enjoyed crab rangoons, short rib bao buns, tuna crispy rice, salmon avocado roll, shrimp tempura roll and firecracker roll. Definitely going back!

Love this place! In a sea of mediocre Asian restaurants, this place is top notch. Honestly, one of the best places in Metro Detroit for what they have to offer. Can't wait to go back!

Overall, very good experience. It was my second time here and my husband's first time here. The server was friendly and made a few suggestions. The first time I was here, I ordered a (non spicy) chicken bao bun. It was good but, to me, it was missing a little something that it had the first time - maybe the cucumbers were not pickled this time. Not sure...it was just different. My husband and I agreed that the shrimp shumai is probably the best we have ever eaten. We both also completely enjoyed the chicken lettuce wraps. We also ordered seasoned fries, which I completely adored. For some reason my husband just thought they were OK. But that was fine with me because I got more of them then.

Place: This place is in a nice plaza and the place is pretty big. I believe this is a newer establishment. The interior is nice and clean. Service: The service was nice the server made sure I was happy with my food. Very friendly and overall the food came pretty fast. Food $-$$: The price is can verify on what you order. You can have a light lunch or treat yourself kind of meal. I wanted something light and so I ordered the salmon handroll and other appetizers. I have to say their hot food is more popular. Audience: Solo Trip [X] 21+ [ ] Family Friendly [X] Friends [X] Date Spot [X] Recommendations/tips: I recommend this place and I would say this can be a fun solo trip or a nice group meet up

While the speed of the kitchen at times was slower than slow, sushi came out quick and shumai took 40 minutes, the shrimp shumai and the carrot cake was the star of the show and earned the stars along with the diet Coke they have. (Hate diet Pepsi). Service was also average at best. I had to ask about where the shumai was after I gave that look over to where some servers were standing. Not crowded and looked like they had enough staff. Sushi was just average but it is normal for a Asian fusion place. Always wanted to try this place. While I would not make a special drive up, if I am in the area, I will stop in just for the dim sum shrimp shumai.

Find employees that will show up . Craving sushi - I stopped in for a late lunch. Seated and placed an order to be told unfortunately NO Sushi today - employee that makes it didn't show up....ugh! Egg drop soup was unpleasant at best. Crab rangoons were mediocre.....Bright spot was the server - Heather - she was thoughtful and attentive!

The place is really cool looking, but the sushi is average and nothing that I would go back for

From appetizers to main entrees, the first time food experience quickly went from five stars down to about two stars. The edamame, dim sum (supposedly house made), and sushi were worth the price and had great taste. Serving ikura in a cucumber shell as a substitute for rice and seaweed is a huge no. What a horrible experience eating that watery mess. As a final plate I decided to order the chicken and shrimp Chinese special plate (whatever it's called) 2i5h vegetable fried rice. Completely lacks flavor and probably the worst fried rice I've ever had. I won't be returning here unless it's for dumplings. I also ordered a flight of sake and that was underwhelming to say the least...

I went here for lunch during the work week. I arrived as soon as they opened and stood at the front for while waiting to be seated. No one came by so I started to walk towards their open kitchen. That's when someone finally knew I was there. As soon as I sat down, I was ready to order. I started with the Crispy Rice Tuna which was good but overpriced ($9 for two pieces). The crispy rice had a nice crunch and reminded me of tater tots. I also ordered the Drunken Noodles with vegetables. It had a ton of veggies and the portion was pretty big for $14. If you want to add a protein, it's $2. The service was S L O W. There were only 3 tables (total). The decor is nice and spacious. I asked if there is a lunch menu and the waitress said you can order from the Large Plates section and get a smaller portion that comes with soup or salad.

Visited on a Thursday for lunch around 12:30pm. There were maybe two or three other tables but it took some time to get our orders come out. Maybe labor shortage is the reason. But it was not bothering me. We were looking for lunch special sushi menu so that we could try one bite of everything. Unfortunately, they did not offer lunch special menus. Decided to order something other than sushi. So, I got drunken noodles. $17. The portion was big so that I had to ask for a box to take the leftover home. Overall, the food was good and spicy. I really never had a bad drunken noodles before so I can't tell if other menus are also good, but since my order was good, service was good and restaurant was clean, I am giving a five stars review.

Delicious spring and egg rolls. Bao Buns are incredible! Almost all entrees are fantastic, and well worth the coin /.YUMMY.\

This place has a lot of potential. Let me explain. Ambiance: Gorgeous. It brings class and casual together beautifully. However there was a fly that wouldn't leave my food alone so that disrupted the vibe. Customer service: Great. Everyone from the host to the server is super nice. Always a plus. Good: here is where things get tricky. Maybe it's what I ordered but I didn't love anything I picked. The rock shrimp was too saucy and the saucy was wayyy too heavy. It felt very mayo based with no relief. I just had to stop eating it, as it wasn't an enjoyable the sushi was delicious but not the best I've ever had. The sake was delicious so there is that. But the carrot cake... I enjoyed the berries . It was again too heavy and too sweet. I couldn't enjoy it and that's saying alot as I love carrot cake. Overall cool experience. Maybe I'm just need to pick better options next t time.

I came here for dinner on a Sunday and was shocked to see it wasn't packed. Bloomfield definitely benefits from a good Asian restaurant like this. Located in a strip mall, Zao Jun stands out with strings lights all over its name, really calling you in. Our waitress was really attentive and brought out our food fast and even splitting our noodle dish for us. The ribs were delicious and fell off the bone, and the sauce was a delicious sticky soy glaze. The sushi Mr. Miyagi was tasty and tasted pretty fresh but overall was an embellished California roll. The shrimp pad Thai was made with some thicker noodles and the sauce was delicious, really grasping onto the noodles well. Inside was very trendy and modern, and Zao Jun is a great spot to get your fix and I'm sure everything in their menu is delicious!

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the hostess. She was very kind, and walked me over to my table. Service was pretty quick, and the sitting area was very clean and fancy. I ordered the crab Rangoon and shrimp tempura. Crab Rangoon was very good, and I loved how it was still at a warm temperature by the time I got it. This crab Rangoon was one of my favorites, because it wasn't oily and tasted amazing. The shrimp tempura has a ginger sweet aftertaste, and it's unlike any sushi I've ever had. Nevertheless, it tastes great and I love how it's not overpowering. I love how everything melts in your mouth, and the tempura isn't overly crunchy. We all know how the panko on the outside can be, but it was actually a lot better than I thought. Service was also a plus, my waitress was always checking on me, and was very kind. She made sure that my meal was satisfying, and the environment was very welcoming and subtle. Everything tasted fresh and was at the perfect temperature. Overall, a great dinner experience. Love the decor and how ambient everything looked.

I'm still a big fan- They're struggling with help like everyone else- for them, it's mostly at host station, where you might wait, unseen, for a half hour, (it's happened to us more than once), so we've learned to just go sit at the bar and you're face to face with a server Food is still the best- the pad Thai here is clean and flavorful always. If you're eating it covered with salty sauce, you're missing out. We order it with shrimp and they're perfectly cooked every time. (Almost everywhere else cooks them to a rubbery mess) The nigiri, sashimi and rolls are also fantastic. I prefer sashimi or nigiri because their fish is phenomenal - just beautiful fish. For fun, I also like the crispy tuna or avocado pieces and the papaya salad is also a stand out, only here kinda salad. Unless you order pasta salad here or at Genieve's (Detroit or downriver), you're going to be eating cheap apple salad, so don't miss trying it here, even if you're not sure it's your thjn

The pot stickers were fantastic!!! We had sweet and sour chicken and the broccoli fries. Broccoli fries were great but then you probably should avoid another fried dish.

Really enjoyed this place!! I tried the crab rangoons, Mongolian beef and chicken baos (non spicy). The beef was so flavorful. The baos were pillowy and the filling was very tasty. I've read some other reviews complaining about bad service but we had great and quick service when we went.

It's a great place for sushi and some pan Asian cuisine. Lots of good sushi options to choose from. It is on the expensive side but the cocktails were made well. Short ribs were also well made and delicious. Service is a little slow. However the ambiance and the setting makes it a good place for a date night or an evening out with friends.

More expensive than I expected, but portion sizes are big. Pineapple Mule was delicious!

Wow. This was absolutely amazing. Incredible food quality and flavor. Great ambiance. Outstanding service from Jon L. We had a wide variety of dishes for 6 people and every single dish, appetizer, and dessert was absolutely astounding! We were blown away and we will return here often.
